I wear one when hiking to keep the sun off my neck and I also carry a Nikon D300 around my neck and it keeps it from rubbing me raw.

I wear mine in the winter because it's warm, and since it's legit (got it from a dead hajji) it pisses off all the Arabic immigrants when I go downtown. I consider them poser garb in all situations. I am however forced to change my rule in your case. War trophies are always cool doesn't matter if it's a pink tutu as long as it has pedigree. |

Question for all the shemahgians:
Why don't you just use a scarf? The guy who took it from the dead fucker is exempt, of course.

In the old days we took a od green Cravat out of the first aid kits and wore them in similar ways. we called them "Go to hell rags" you kids call our M-16's Muskets  Still have one in the little carton in my Y- harness LBEs bandage pouch.(Yes, getting old.) They worked well to avoid eating dust if you were driving or commanding but we wore them more like old western bank-robber masks.

I spent more time in the middle east than I care to remember and even in 2003 we still clowned on people still wearing shemaghs and pakool hats in theater that was sooo 2001 and only the real deal wore that shit to try to blend in while running around some mountainside in Afganistan. Now all these years later I see tons of goofballs wearing those softshell jackets with gay ass morale patches all over them and a fucking shemagh. NONE of them served in the military and they have more shit on them than any SF guy I ever saw. If they wanted to emulate real "Operators" they would wear normal looking shit, not Condor garbage which barely stands up to a few washings. Just give them your number so they can ask you what to wear the next time they come to the range. Next thread: "Dressing normal at the range is SO poser!" |

I wouldn't wear one, but I would keep one in the BOB. If not a Shemagh, then just a regular hand towel. Some sort of handy cotton something-or-other.

They look like a gangbanger's hankerchief or a chunk of a tablecloth.
When it gets dusty at the outdoor range (and I mean blowing sandstorm of hell red dust) the tatcicool ninjas all start to wear them. I don't feel like cleaning fine dust out of every nook and cranny of my guns, so those days I stay at home and watch TV with my young wife. |

There's one goofball in my office that will tie his into a complete facemask at his desk before he leaves for the day if it is exceptionally cold outside.
One day I swear he's going to get shot by the guards if he startles them.

Hipster fags wearing shemahgs go in the same category. Hipsters just irritate the shit out of me. It's a sign of age. I know. Then again, wearing a scarf with a wintercoat isn't just for hipsters. If the purpose is to stay warm and not make a fashion statement. I guess that sums it up. Scarves and shemahgs as fashion statements are for fags and hipsters. |

I have one but only wore it in sandstorms and a few times around the neck with some dirty canal water. There is only one time I have worn one in conus, and it was at the bundy ranch and I'm happy as hell I brought it cause I hate picking dirt boogers out of my nose... those aren't fun to eat, too much grit. Plus it was dark so only a few people saw me in such a shameful condition.
